Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, June 29

A lot of BTS players would have crossed off the entire opposing lineup when they saw Zack Greinke‘s name on the probable pitchers list.

Our current leader is apparently not one of those players.

Jonroy73 showed no fear of the Brewers right-hander last night, rolling with Robinson Cano and hitting paydirt on the second baseman’s second-inning RBI single. Although Greinke entered the game with a 4.77 ERA, his history of dominance made Mr. Roy’s Tuesday pick a little riskier than most. Hey, live by the Yankees lineup, die by the Yankees lineup, we guess.

Anyway, only seven players in Major League history have reached jonroy’s total of 38 games. A hit tonight would tie him with Paul Molitor‘s 39 game run in 1987. Good luck and Bourn-speed.

Answer: Always feel concerned when you have double digit streaks.
Volquez hasn’t been great in last several outings, allowing over 1 hit per inning on average but pitches better during daytime and away.
Damon hit safely in only 3 of last 8 games & has a home average of just 220
Those are simply stats. But like any pick; gotta put the ball in play and then hope for the best

It is slightly concerning when the opposing pitcher has a 3-run lead and hasn’t given up their first hit yet after 4 innings. I have Casey Kotchman today and he walked during his first appearance. He’s due up first next inning, so let’s hope he cancels the post-game show

I think the batting gods heard me or something. Single to left and I’m done for the day. Ken, I’d love to root for you, but since you and the leader both picked the same player, I need you to sacrifice yourself. ;)

Those that picked A-Gone best hope he gets a hit in first 2 or 3 ABs. Probably won’t be in the game towards the end if score is close. He’s playing outfield today unless manager changes his mind before game starts.

Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 11 with streak of 15 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 30.96% with ROBO-KEMP reseting the most.
There was also 5.08% PPD due to players not playing. These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.
